Potential for Good

Everyone, no matter what their choices are, have the potential for good.

I think this message is an interesting interpretation of the good and evil debate. Many people think that the choices we make are direct indications of the type of person we are. If someone is morally good then they will always choose to do the right thing. If they make bad choices then that means they are permanently evil. The Santa Claus in this episode of “The Librarians” is breaking down this black and white philosophy. His gift to the world every Christmas showed that he still had hope for humanity. I like the idea that a person always has the potential to do the right thing, no matter what their choices have been in the past.
